DX Maps provides a specialized map printing service, focusing on amateur radio applications such as world prefix maps and custom great circle projections. The platform allows radio operators to visualize propagation paths and DX entities relevant to their QTH and operational goals. This service supports the creation of high-quality, large-format maps tailored for shack display or operational planning. The service facilitates the generation of personalized maps, which can include specific callsign locations, beam headings, and other critical amateur radio data points. Users can specify parameters to create maps that aid in understanding global propagation conditions and optimizing antenna aiming for long-distance contacts. The UK-based operation ensures a localized service for European hams, with international shipping options available. DX Maps also offers QSL card printing, complementing its mapping services.

Military time notation is based on 24-hour clock. A time of day is written in the form hhmm, where hh (0-23) stands for full hours that have passed since midnight, mm (00-59) is the number of minutes that have passed since the last full hour. To convert hours greater then 12 to 12-hour clock just subtract 12 from the given hours and that will give you the PM time

A comprehensive overview of a 10-band attic antenna system developed for contesting and DXing is presented, covering its evolution and performance. Initially intended in a restricted location, the system has been developed through numerous iterations, using various antenna types such as delta loops and Yagis. Automatic switching, dual-direction capability, and optimum tuning for certain band segments are among the most notable features. The project not only improves operating efficiency but also provides great learning opportunities in antenna design and installation in restricted places.

The HF Beacon Tracker is an advanced interactive tool designed for DXers and ham radio opoerators in general to monitor active beacons operating below 14 MHz. Built upon a high-fidelity 3D Earth globe, the application provides a spatial perspective on signal paths by integrating real-time environmental data with a comprehensive beacon database curated by Mirek OK1DUB. Beacons are plotted using precise Maidenhead locators and feature a real-time day/night terminator overlay to help operators identify Gray Line propagation opportunities. With a single click, users can calculate the exact distance from their own QTH to any beacon, visualized via an animated Great-Circle Path arc on the globe surface. To enhance its diagnostic capabilities, the tool seamlessly integrates with PSK Reporter, allowing users to right-click CW beacons to instantly fetch current reception reports and signal strength data. The interface is fully optimized with a mobile-responsive design, smooth globe rotation, and togglable Dark/Light themes suitable for any shack environment. Whether you are performing antenna gain tests, conducting ionospheric research, or simply hunting for band openings, the HF Beacon Tracker transforms raw database information into an intuitive, visual diagnostic suite. It serves as an essential asset for any operator looking to master HF band conditions.
